p_ind is a flexible and multipurpose tool for displaying progress, optimized for script usage. Includes a demo script.
p_ind is a versatile progress indicator tool that is particularly useful in scripts. This tool comes with a sample script to help users get started quickly. With p_ind, users can display progress information using one of five defines (0,1,2,3,4) that correspond to various progress indicators.
Using p_ind is a breeze. Simply call it from scripts using the command "#!/bin/bash". The user can use traps to ensure p_ind doesn't become a runaway process if they press "CTRL+C" during its execution. Additionally, "2> /dev/null" can prevent error messages from being displayed if p_ind has already been killed.
The software allows users to display progress when running time-consuming tasks. For example, users can display a progress indicator (3) when running a long task. They can also run the task in the background while assigning the background process ID to $BG_PID with "p_ind 3 & BG_PID=$!."
Overall, p_ind is a powerful tool that simplifies progress tracking tasks in scripts. Its ease of use, versatility, and useful features make it a valuable addition to any developer's toolkit.
